To say Rita Ora loves to wear head-turning outfits would be an understatement.

From prosthetic fish gills on her face to dinosaur spikes on her back paired with a Primark dress, and super off-piste chunky boots, the 34-year-old is constantly pushing the boundaries of sartorial norms, keeping fashion fans completely entertained.

In her latest look, the singer, fashion designer and judge on The Masked Singer US, wore an outfit consisting of pieces approved by It-girls across the globe in 2024, and we can't get enough.

Rita shared a series of images on Instagram with her 16.2m followers from inside the TeamLab Planets immersive exhibition in Tokyo (which she's proven makes a mean photo backdrop).

Eponymous Alaia founder Azzedine Alaia could arguably be coined the founding father of the ‘haute hood’ after Grace Jones wore one of his hooded pieces playing the character of May Day in the 1985 James Bond film A View To Kill. In 2022, the style went through a renaissance and became a go-to for the fashion set both on and off the red carpet, worn by style icons from Margot Robbie to Kate Moss.

Micro shorts, alongside the likes of bloomers, jorts and boxers, have been a major shorts trend of 2024. Brands including Miu Miu, Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant sent models down the runway over recent seasons wearing teeny tiny shorts. "You may well be wondering what the difference is between a micro short and a pair of knickers?," says H! Fashion's Clare Pennington, "I’m afraid we can’t help there much, except to say that there is a touch more cheek coverage on the former, although that entirely depends on how you like to wear your undergarments quite frankly."

Once again Rita has worn an outfit fit for a cool-girl, and we're taking major AW24 style inspo.
